News from T³ and T³-TournamentsenTue, 03 Mar 2015 16:15:01 +0100Tue, 03 Mar 2015 16:15:01 +0100http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rssT³-RSS-Feeder 2.1blackhawk@tabletoptournaments.net (Matthias Althaus)webmaster@tabletoptournaments.net (Matthias Althaus)T³: State of T³ and feedback requesthttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=708
As there are more and more requests about the state of the page's state and development, I'd like to share some insights on this topic.
Premium is running okayish. It pays the website's bills and allows me to spend enough time to keep the support running. Nobody is getting rich here. I'm really thankfull for all the organizers out there willing to pay for a real service they get.
The Future is filled with work. The current code base is really ancient and is simply nomore good for new features. I tweaked some minor improvements into the page, but nothing more. For the last 2 months I started working on a complete redesign and recoding of the website. I'm pretty sure that you can imagine redoing over 10 years of work can take more than 2 months. Due to me being a self-employed developer I can only work partly on this and sooner or later I've to go back to regular customer projects. So don't expect any wonderous updates soon. It's like repainting 20.000 points of Orcs and Goblins.
Now we'd like to collect Your Feedback. Therefore we've added this friendly guy sitting on the right side of the page awaiting your feedback and ideas. Just click him and share your ideas. Posting in English or German is preferred. We already have plenty of stuff we're looking into, but now it's your chance to get involved into the future of T³.T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=708#commentsTue, 03 Mar 2015 15:56:16 +0100t70814th Conflict Fantasy: Rules set onlinehttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?tid=13174&nid=10501

Alrighty, bij deze een full house. (licht overboekt zelfs)
Grtz en dikke merci voor de talrijke inschrijvingen.
Het beloofd een zalige dag te worden met een diversiteit aan teams en clubs.
Enkel de eerste 28 deelnemers kunnen echter deelnemen dus we zullen enkelen moeten teluurstellen.
moesten er nog plaatsen vrijkomen houden we de latere registranten zeker op de hoogte
Thnx for the numerous registrations. However only the first 28 registrants will be able to participate due to space limits & safety reasons. We will keep those that registered after the first 28 informed if new spots become available but keep in mind those odds are rather slim.Tournament Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?tid=13883&nid=10468#commentsMon, 23 Feb 2015 20:30:38 +0100t10468Compagnie Ardente battle par équipes 2015: TOURNOI BATTLE COMPAGNIE ARDENTE 2015http://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?tid=13718&nid=10459

On 1st January 2015 a new VAT law came into place regarding the handling of electronically supplied services. As Althaus.IT - the one man company behind T³ - is located in Germany we had to update some stuff to confirm with the new requirements. The primary change is that we now have to take the VAT from the customer's country into account instead using the German VAT for all orders.
We now have to differ four types of customers:
1) All German customer will be taxed the 19% like before.
2) Private customers from an EU country will be taxed the VAT from their country.
3) Business customers (with a valid VATIN) from the EU will get the Premium price reduced by the VAT from their country.
4) All other customers will be charged the regular price just without any tax.
Due to the fact that we don't want to change our pricings, we're going to take the tax changes on our end. This means that we're simply going to earn less as the average VAT in the T³ countries is higher than the German one.
All invoices will include the correct tax. Please report any issues as soon as possible back to us. In addition we're updated our PayPal integration to reflect the used tax in their checkout process.T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=702#commentsWed, 14 Jan 2015 15:46:02 +0100t702T³: Merry Christmashttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=700
Ho ho ho... we wish all our gamers and their families a Merry Christmas and some wonderfull days. We hope you've got lots of shiny metal and freshly made plastic miniatures under the Christmas tree so that you keep visiting us to see what you can do with your new stuff.
Be aware that the T³ team will be a little less responsive over the holidays. So please be patient with your requests. We'll try to take care of open issues every now and than. We'll be back to usual business at 5th January, 2015.
Happy holidays!T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=700#commentsWed, 24 Dec 2014 11:50:39 +0100t700T³: T³ now supports Italyhttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=698
We're very proud to annouce the immediate availability of T³ in Italy. With this step you can now travel to tournaments from France to Poland and from Germany to Italy. There aren't that much tournaments in the Italian calendar yet, but we're eager to make this change. So if you're from Italy or have Italien gamer friends, tell them to have a look and come along.
As a start there's a first Warhammer 40K ranking based on results of the last months.
The Italian page will be managed by http://www.tabletoptournaments.net/player/Aresius (Aresius) and http://www.tabletoptournaments.net/player/TLB (TLB). They also manage the rankings.T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=698#commentsWed, 05 Nov 2014 14:40:01 +0100t698T³: Issues with newsletter fixedhttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=696
We had some issues with the processing of the latest newsletters, where - depending on your subscription settings - the newsletter was cut off in the middle of the ended tournaments listing. This shouldn't happen again. In addition we finally added the extracting of links used in news. Those shouldn't vanish anymore.T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=696#commentsFri, 05 Sep 2014 17:11:52 +0200t696T³: ETC 2014 - The results - Updatehttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=694

We got reports that users with mail accounts hosted by free.fr are missing mails sent by T³. We investigated the issue and found out that the T³ mail server got blacklisted by free.fr for causing too many "errors". Thereby they don't mean spam, but more technical issues like trying to reach invalid mail recipients. According to our logs this started 4 weeks ago. Due to the fact how mail delivery works the mails aren't lost. They are pending in the mail queue and our server retries the delivery, but free.fr blocks our server every 24 hours again. It maybe that the retries cause the re-blocking, so we maybe have to trash the pending mails.
We dug deep into the logs, but couldn't find any real technical reason for this to happen yet. The mail server has a good reputation in general and is not listed on any major spam blacklist.
We'll continue to solve this issue and can only ask to ensure you're using a valid mail address on T³ and maybe use another mail provider instead of free.fr.
Update:
After furthing log evaluations we can say that the problem exists for 4 weeks. We also found an issue with our newsletter system being open to some abuse, but we fixed this. We also dropped the mail queue to be sure that no "bad" mails are pending. Unfortunately we still cannot deliver mails to free.fr as they are still blocking (all valid) requests from our mail server. We contacted their support asking for assistance. There's noting more we can do at the moment. Please change your mail address, if you depend on receiving our mails. We're sorry for this inconvenience.
Update 2:
It seems that free.fr finally unblocked us some days ago.T³-Newshttp://www.tabletoptournaments.net/t3_news.php?nid=688#commentsFri, 11 Apr 2014 15:37:47 +0200t688
